About this Collection

Conceived by journalist Louis Minsky (1909-1957), Religious News Service (RNS) was established in 1934 as an affiliated but independently managed agency of the National Conference of Jews and Christians (later the National Conference of Christians and Jews), and was dedicated to providing authoritative and bias-free news about religion and ethics to both the secular and religious press. This collection contains photographs documenting Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and Jewish groups. Coverage of Protestants (especially mainline Protestants) and Catholics constitutes the bulk of the images. View the collection guide to learn more. Digitization of some of the images in this collection made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Featured image: Father James Groppi, the civil rights activist priest from Milwaukee, and militant leader Rennie Davis are taken into custody during an anti war demonstration a block from the White House.

Capital nativity scene rises again.

Text transcribed from caption: P-46550 CAPITAL NATIVITY SCENE RISES AGAIN WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Rev. Herbert Fitzpatrick (right) of the First Baptist Church, Riverdale, Md., and Vaughn Barkdoll of the American Christian Heritage Association of Greenbelt, Md., dedicate a Nativity Scene near the Ellipse in Washington. Located adjacent to the annual Pageant of Peace display, the Nativity Scene was the subject of a suit a year ago. Sponsored by the National Park Service, the suit resulted in a court decision banning the manger scene, citing “excessive government entanglement with religion.” The Nativity Scene was erected by the American Christian Heritage Association, which sponsored it last year. This year they were given a permit by the park service. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RN-WAS-12C-74-DS)

Father Drinan: Zionism expresses religious beliefs.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: J-46210 FATHER DRINAN: ZIONISM EXPRESSES RELIGIOUS BELIEFS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Zionism is “more than a political movement; it is an expression of worldwide Jewish religious beliefs and hopes,” Rep. Robert F. Drinan (D-Mass.) said in remarks made before the national executive committee of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. “Zionism is a profoundly held spiritual conviction of Jewish fidelity to the biblical covenant which links a people, a faith and a land in a unique religious and mystical unity,” the Roman Catholic Jesuit priest-congressman stated in a speech which was inserted into the Congressional Record. It is “not for a Christian to state,” he added, “whether or not Zionism and Judaism are theologically separable. But politically they cannot be separated. Zionism is the mystique, the ‘elan vital’ of Israel. To equate Zionism with racism represents a frontal assault against the core values of Judaism.” In the light of recent public statements concerning the alleged influence of Jews in this country who are staunch supporters of Israel, it is time, Father Drinan said, “as never before,” for Americans, “especially Christian Americans,” to “reassess the fundamental reasons why the United States has a unique and profound alliance with Israel.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (R-8A-76-DS)

Instant replay perfects preaching.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-45879 INSTANT REPLAY PERFECTS PREACHING WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Father John Burke of the U.S. Army Chaplain Board, Fort Meade, Md., uses a cassette tape recorder to critique sermons submitted by Army chaplains. Father Burke, a Roman Catholic Dominican priest who is executive director of the Word of God Institute in Washington, serves as the resource consultant of a new project of the Army’s Chaplain Board called Preaching Exchange. The Exchange offers each participating chaplain a sermon critique through the medium of cassette tape. Chaplains throughout the Army are able to tape record one of their sermons, send it to the Exchange, and receive immediate and valuable feedback on their preaching. Father Burke audits the sermons and, on the “flip-side” of the cassette tape, provides each chaplain with a critique based upon theological, homiletical and communication guidelines. The Exchange is a direct result of efforts by the Chief of Army Chaplains, Chaplain (Maj. Gen.) Gerhardt W. Hyatt, who believes that “every chaplain in the Army, no matter what his age, should be developing his preaching talent.” His emphasis has led to a renewal of interest in preaching among Army chaplains as evidenced in preaching clinics, workshops, conferences and programs of continuing education.
